Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs) are tacky and are mainly used for labels. It is necessary to first evaporate the water and then apply a release paper to make removing the label easier. The performance of these products is measured in terms of tack, peel and shear force. It is important to have a very clean surface before applying these adhesives. These products have a high temperature performance of around 50°C (122°F).

PSAs are ideal for the clear labels found on bottles because they are clear when dry.
